For Vaxstation users, there is a really nice trick I ran across that keeps
the width of the prompt down. There are some documented escape sequences in the
workstation software users guide to allow you to all kinds of useful things
with the window (like change size, shrink to icon) What I use is to put my
current default into the banner line on top of the window.
